PRESSCLARENDONTHEAT 1894 rights reservedA it '\I INTRODUCTION The Sanskrit text of the Buddha-^arita was published 'at the beginning of last year in the Anecdota Oxoniensia,' and the following English translation is now included in ' Booksthe series of Sacred of the East.' It is an early Sanskrit poem written in India on the legendary history of Buddha, and therefore contains much that is of interest for the history of Buddhism, beside its special import- ance as illustrating the early history of classical Sanskrit literature. It is ascribed to Aj-vaghosha ; and, although there were several writers who bore that name, it seems most probable spiritual adviserthat our author was the contemporary and of Kanishka in the first century of our era.
